What systems do you work with?
All major ERPs, CRMs and BI tools across the modern finance stack, and the AI platforms layered on top. I keep a curated view of the vendor landscape across every finance category at every enterprise size.
Do you bring tools or use ours?
Yours, by default. Strong preference for working inside your existing security, audit and compliance posture rather than introducing a parallel stack. The exception is short pilots where a vendor trial is the fastest way to a clean answer.
How quickly can you start?
Usually two to four weeks from first call to kickoff. Faster for tightly scoped advisory pieces; longer if a security review is needed first.
Do I need to be doing AI already?
No. The fractional CFO leadership aligns to the dynamics of your finance team. The AI work will meet you wherever you are, from “we haven't started” to “we have a few experiments and they're not landing”.
How much of the AI work is yours vs my team's?
Whatever balance fits your maturity. I'll do it all in early stage clients with no internal AI capability. In organisations with a tech or data team, I work alongside them — the finance fluent counterpart they don't have in house.
